A meeting of Citizens Association. No. 8. was
held last evening at the hail. corner of 10th street
| and Pennsylvania avenue, DR.. Reyburn In the
chair and B. S. Pike secretary. Before the meet
| ing was called to order the secretary was kept
| busy receiving the names OF new members and
| their dues. The secretary announced that there
were 81 names now on the rolls. The roll was
called and q large number responded to their
| names, one OF the members remark1ng that
| this was the best attended meeting Of the
association that had yet been held. After
the reading OF the minutes OF the last meeting the
president announced that the business before the
| meeting was the election OF fifteen delegates to
represent the association in the central COM
mittee. Mr.. Wilmer suggested that a committee
OF five be appointed by the chair to nominate
twenty-five persons from whom the members
might select nfteen to vote for. He said that many
were not acquainted sufficiently with the men,
Ders OF the association and the report OF the COM
them i'll preparing their ballots.
DID NOT LIKE THAT WAY.
This proposition was opposed by several MEN,
berS because they stated that the association was
composed OF individuals, and in the organization
so far it had been the intention to preserve the
rights and powers OF the individual, and by the
appointment OF a committee the Judgment OF five
men would be imposed upon the association. 1t
was said that the best plan was for each member
to place on his ballot the fifteen members that he
wanted to represent the association. and those
receiving the highest number of votes would be
elected.
Upon the motion of Mr.. Mullett resolution to
this effect was adopted, and the members were
requested TO prepare their ballots.
MR.. HAY HAS LIST.
At this Juncture Mr.. E b. Hay said that it was no
doubt the general desire to select the names
of representative men, and he had given the
matter some attention and had prepared list,
which he would read for the guidance OF the men,
berS.
Mr.. Mullett objected to the reading of the list as
1t would be in effect doing what the association
had resolved not to do. Mr.. Hay protested against
this interpretation and amid the general laughter
he sim remained standing with the list tempt
iDgly exposed to the gaze.
Mr.. COnger called out, "Let him read 1t. 1t
won't do any HARM"
Some one laughingly suggested that the nomi-
nations Of the committee OF one be read.
MIR. Hay objected to this term, and said that it
was only intended for general information. There
being no further objection the list was read, and
then another member who had list read his, and
then the balloting began.

was issued charging him with attempted burglary
TWO years ago at the residence Of Mrs Catherine
Collins, NO. 2O4 9th street southeast. The negro
ran when he saw the policeman, and the officer
chased him several squares, firing two shots to
frighten him, but he wouldn't halt He was finally
captured in house near the corner of Sd and II
streets, and was locked up. This morning in the
Police Court the case was heard. 1t was shown
that the man entered Mrs. Collins woOdshed to
window in order to get away, and not for the pur-
pose OF committing felony. The Judge thought
he was liable for destroying private property but
not for attempted burglary. The latter charge
was dismissed, and Mr.. Darlington, for the pris-
oner, said he was willing to plead guilty to a
charge OF destroying private property, which case
was continued until tomorrow.
